Hello
this is Wendi Bailey, your T-SC CoC President with your Weekly Chamber Update.
Back
in September the Toccoa-Stephens County Tomorrow Visioning Committee conducted
a “Community Input” meeting where participants ranked the top ten
community issues, in the order of which issue should be addressed first. The
results were #1. Economic Development; #2. Land Use and #3. Leadership.
Congratulations
goes out to the Land Use Regulation
Committee for their hard work in moving our community forward, and
further than we've ever been before.
We support them and believe a Land Use Regulation Plan will enhance
local economic development and protect our community from another undesirable
business locating in Stephens County.
Please
plan to attend the County Commission
meeting next Tuesday the 26th at 5:30pm the historic court
house. Get involved and encourage our County Commissioners to lead us forward with
a Land Use Regulation plan, similar to Franklin and Madison County, with the
use of professional assistance, and the Land Use Regulation Committee staying
an active committee, throughout the adoption of this plan.
I have a few
announcements for you today:
Today is Chamber Member
Appreciation Day at Belk. The Belk store is saying a big THANK YOU to the Chamber
of Commerce family in appreciation of the Chamber’s many efforts. Belk
presented us with an All Day Member-to-Member savings coupon that was emailed
to all Chamber members. We look forward to the incredible savings just in time
for Easter!
Next Tuesday is the Pastor
Appreciation Breakfast. We have almost 40 churches represented and each will
receive breakfast and a “thank you” gift. It will be held at the Georgia Baptist Dining
Hall, overlooking Lake Louise at 7:30am as the sun rises during Easter week.
Our speaker is Dr. Bob Myers the President of Toccoa Falls College. Everyone
else is welcome for the cost of breakfast, which is five dollars. RSVP today at
706-886-2132.
Next Wednesday is
the Chamber Member luncheon at 12pm at BJ’s Restaurant. Come eat family
style in the private back room. Bring your business cards, plan to tell us
about yourself, hear updates on calendar events and programs and enter to win a
door prize.
Finally, the Keep
Toccoa Stephens County Beautiful Clean Community Competition is well underway. The Chamber has a
team and invites you join us and commit to picking up trash and tires and even
junk cars. Other spring cleaning activities that get points include painting
and yard work. Call the Chamber and join our team.
Your
Chamber celebrates all Community Progress by posting GOOD News stories on the
web site at www.toccoagachamber.com
under the “Accomplishments” tab. So when you need to be uplifted just
visit the web site and take a look at all our community has accomplished.
That’s
your weekly Update. I’m Wendi Bailey your Toccoa Stephens County Chamber of
Commerce President.
